Near-term quantum computers are likely to have small depths due to short coherence time and noisy gates, and thus a potential way to use these quantum devices is using a hybrid scheme that interleaves them with classical computers. For…

It has been known for almost three decades that many $\mathrm{NP}$-hard optimization problems can be solved in polynomial time when restricted to structures of constant treewidth. In this work we provide the first extension of such results…

We obtain the strongest separation between quantum and classical query complexity known to date -- specifically, we define a black-box problem that requires exponentially many queries in the classical bounded-error case, but can be solved…
